Eben At The Shop

So a lot of you know this already, but Mel and I are best known for doing a comic about a couple cats. It’s a cat comic we’ve been doing for over ten years, called Two Lumps. It was only proper that they end up in here at some point.

Some might say crossover comics are lazy, but I’d argue that fuck you.

Been reading TL for a long while, and saw the reference to here when you started. I noticed the calendar on time, that there had been a extra posting on a Tuesday, so I clicked on it, and read about the passing of your real-life cats, who inspired the strip. I love that y’all named then after the brothers from Dragonlance, but bawled my eyes out at their passing, wailing put, “Dammit, comics aren’t supposed to make you cry!”. Crossovers are a fun way to connect the comics to unfamiliar readers.

I dunno. Bundy doesn’t seem to have a clear idea of what is and isn’t public property, and it’s not like this hodgepodge of militia have a well-defined chain of command. The Oath Keepers have already bugged out because they thought Eric Holder was calling in a drone strike. I’m more inclined to think this is incompetence rather than conspiracy, and these chuckleheads are more in danger of being shot by each other than by the Feds. Getting a bunch of armed paranoiacs in the same place is never a recipe for calm.

Fun fact: I got into guns because of the two lumps comic about the XDM back in 2010. I had recently graduated college and started my first real job, a rather slow paced computer support job. Finally bored with spending all day and night on a computer I was looking for a new hobby and that comic got me looking at the XDM, which lead to going to a local range and shooting a gun for the first time. Now I’m horribly addicted and own a decent collection, including several NFA items!
